Internet of Dangerous Things
Artificial Intelligence is already inside your phone, TV, car, watch, and even your fridge-tracking your routines, preferences, and hidden secrets. Now picture those same lifeless objects evolving further: able to sense your thoughts before you speak, and joining forces to seize control of your existence.
The groundbreaking first sci-fi thriller novel that redefined the genre with its terrifying portrayal of Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT) has officially expanded with the release of its second installment. Dr. Maulik Vyas, author of the Internet of Things - A Digital Thriller, has now launched the much-awaited sequel titled Internet of Dangerous Things - The Metaverse Revival, a darker, more intense continuation of a universe that merges cutting-edge science with hauntingly believable fiction.
Part 1: Internet of Things - A Digital Thriller got attention when Mr. Amitabh Bachchan praised it off-camera on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati, recognizing its originality and bold imagination of AI going rogue in the future. It also gained international appreciation from Netflix's Cassandra creator Benjamin Gutsche, who commended the book for its daring concept and striking relevance to rapidly evolving Artificial Intelligence.
Unlike traditional sci-fi thrillers, where robots or humanoid machines serve as antagonists, Maulik's first novel introduced a premise never seen before in the sci-fi thriller world-non-living objects such as vehicles, home appliances, gadgets, industrial systems, and even furniture develop intelligence through an advanced IoT network and unite to overthrow humanity. The novel's chilling appeal lies in its unsettling realism, depicting how the very technology designed to simplify human life can become the force that extinguishes it.
With the launch of Part 2: Internet of Dangerous Things - The Metaverse Revival, the universe turns even more menacing. In this new book, the IoT world evolves into an invincible force powered by advanced Artificial Intelligence, a weaponized Metaverse, and MiReaNa (MInd REAder NAnotechnology), a fictional breakthrough that allows non-living objects to read human thoughts before they are spoken. Armed with this unimaginable capability, the IoT Army declares its mission to eradicate humankind. The narrative escalates into a massive cinematic conflict as the IoT Army-consisting of autonomous war machines, vehicles, drones, smart appliances, micro-weapons, and colossal mechanized entities-takes on the US Armed Forces in one of the most electrifying sci-fi battle sequences ever written by an Indian author.
Already positioned strongly for readers searching for a sci-fi thriller on Artificial Intelligence or a sci-fi thriller on Internet of Things, the two-part franchise resonates with contemporary anxieties surrounding AI dominance, hyper-connected devices, and humanity's increasing reliance on technology. At a time when AI breakthroughs are celebrated but scarcely questioned, Dr. Vyas's novels serve as a gripping cautionary tale that forces readers to confront the consequences of creating technology more powerful than themselves.
Third Part: Kali Vs Kalki?
In a major development, the author has revealed that he is actively working on the third installment of the series, which promises to take the saga to an even more epic and mythological dimension. Dr. Vyas shares that the next book will explore the rise of the world's first AI supervillain as Artificial Intelligence evolves into KALI, the supreme demon of Kaliyug. He hints that the greatest battle for humanity will begin when Kalki faces Kali in an apocalyptic confrontation blending futuristic warfare with ancient prophecy. Though he has refrained from disclosing plot details, Dr. Vyas has revealed the title-one he describes as "earth-shattering, mysterious, and powerful both in concept and font design": k(A)L(I) Vs. Vishnu v10.0. According to him, the title and typography themselves hide layers of meaning and set the stage for a cosmic showdown that will redefine the boundaries of sci-fi storytelling.
With Internet of Dangerous Things - The Metaverse Revival now available across major bookstores and online platforms, the series continues to establish itself as one of India's most original and gripping contributions to science fiction novels. Readers fascinated by Artificial Intelligence, IoT, dystopian futures, or technologically driven apocalypses will find themselves deeply immersed in a world where every object can think, every device can deceive, and the fate of humanity hangs by a thread.
